Hill AFB and Tinker AFB Comparison 27 Hill AFB located much farther from central city than Tinker AFB Higher concentration of base facilities at Hill AFB Hill AFB has large numbers coming from SLC airport; not the case at Tinker Existing internal circulation at Hill AFB (20 stops); no existing or planned at Tinker Potential to get high-capacity transit closer to main gates at Tinker AFB; closest rail station is approximately two miles away from Hill AFB main gate

28
High-Capacity Transit at Tinker AFB 28 Direct access to area with high concentration of Tinker “shift-work” employees (Building 3001) Enhanced access to regional activity centers and events for on-base personnel and families Internal circulator buses would have to be housed on-base Potential to alleviate current and future parking issues on base Tinker Mass Transit Questionnaire –3,400 questionnaires completed –78% would commute via transit if available –54% would use transit five or more times per week –Factors with most influence on using transit for commute Drop-off location near work area Cost of round trip service –15% of respondents carpool at least once per week Existing “Transit Benefit Program” –$130 per month maximum for all federal employees –Agree to ride transit or vanpool at least three times per week

36
36 Final East Corridor LPA Vote The locally Preferred Alternative for the East Corridor should include: Alignment E1a with a streetcar technology that connects Tinker, uses the abandoned ROW in Midwest City and then uses Reno Av to the Santa Fe Hub to potentially tie in with the Downtown OKC streetcar. In addition, a connection via streetcar to the Health Sciences Center from the Santa Fe Hub should be advanced as a part of the regional transit system. A system to distribute riders within Tinker AFB should be developed to complement the regional system.
